DEMETER•Micro-satellite:
–130kg–Height:80cm–Base:60cm x 60cm
•5 Experiments on board–ICE (Electric field)–IMSC (Magnetic Field)–IAP (Ion Analyzer)–IDP (Energetic Particle)–ISL (Langmuir Probe)
•Altitude: –710km → 660km(Dec. 2005)
•Inclination: 98.3°–Sun synchroneous circular orbit–10h30 and 22h30 at local time.

IAP
• APR (for Analyseur à Potentiel Retardateur, Retarding Potential Analyzer) performs the energy analysis of the rammed ionospheric ions. – H+, He+ and O+– Density– Temperature– Ion Ram speed
• ADV (for Analyseur pour Direction de Vitesse, Velocity Direction Analyzer) determines the average angles of arrival of the ions. – Velocity direction

Work in progress
1. IAP calibration2. Wake effects3. Better Classification (Bubble/Blob, etc…)4. ISL data for detection

Conclusion
• Plasma bubble detection has been performed automatically.
• Data from ICE, IAP and ISL. • Distinction between bubbles and blobs.• Distinction from wake effects. • Improvement in IAP calibration is necessary for
a better detection.• ISL data will be exploited more importantly than
IAP data, due to its finer time resolution.
